Prince Andrew to Visit Seoul

Russophile · #3 09-16-2008, 07:38 PM

Well I talked to a gal at the local "Back to School" Barbecue who teaches international economics at PSU and asked her point blank if Prince Andrews efforts to promote trade really make a difference. And being a Professor, she really hadn't any idea at all and just about less of who Prince Andrew was. . . .

Anyway, Warren, since you know EVERYTHING, did PA design that coat of arms himself or was it already the House of York's arms or what? Thanks!

Coats of Arms are designed (devised) by the Royal College of Arms. The above is actually the shield from the full Arms. It is the standard royal field (as in my avatar) differentiated by the banner with the anchor to denote the Duke of York. Prince Andrew would have had some input into what he wanted in the banner.

Thanks again, Ice. Any pics of P Andrew are always welcome in my book. Seems he's focusing alot of his visits to the Asian market.

Oh dear...a double chin...not his best angle, I'm afraid.

Asia seems to be where the money is.

My favourite prince! I don't care how much golf he plays or how many Airmiles he accumulates--I like him!

I like that picture of the little girl with her hand almost touching his arm. Cute.

Indeed, Prince Andrew is the handsomest Prince. He is like French cognac ... becoming better with age. Seriously speaking, this is the first time I see Prince Andrew performing non-foreign non-business-related engagement.
